Official Google Cloud Blog: Innovation: It's in the Genes

Official Blog

Built in the cloud. Engineered for your enterprise.

This Google logo, initially created to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Understanding DNA, is a great representation of what happened when Genentech turned on Google Calendar for its 12,000 employees last month. Located in South San Francisco, Genentech is a leading biotech company focused on discovering, manufacturing and delivering medicines to patients with unmet medical needs. Genentech recently decided to adopt Google Apps and wanted to make a sure the migration went smoothly. The company deputized "Google Guides," promoted Google Apps as superheros called the "Google Squad" and built out great training materials amongst other innovations. And even though Genentech expected a record number of helpdesk tickets to flood its "war room" given the size of the deployment, to the surprise of everyone, including Todd Pierce, the CIO of Genentech, the staff hardly heard a peep.

Dec. 4, 10 AM PT: Lessons from Genentech's Google Apps Deployment John Nanninga, Sr. Project Manager at Genentech, shares his 7 steps for planning and executing a cloud computing initiative, including evaluation, migration and launch recommendations. Open Q&A with John and Google product managers to follow. Register here.
We are also pleased to host CEO Vinny Lingham from an Internet start-up called SynthaSite. Vinny is a true fan of Google Apps after he recently moved his headquarters from South Africa to San Francisco simply by putting his people on a plane. With no hardware or software to maintain, SynthaSite has relied on Google Apps to help them scale their business and access their key information from anywhere.
Innovate with Google AdWords and Apps. Learn how SynthaSite uses Google AdWords and Apps to innovate in its industry on Thursday, December 11th, 10AM PST. Talk with CEO Vinny Lingham on using AdWords to grow revenues and Google Apps to achieve rapid scale. Register here.
We hope you can join us for these two guest speakers. We devote half of the time to Q&A so this is your chance to ask current customers your most important questions. Thanks again for your interest in Google Apps!
Serena Satyasai, Google Apps Marketing
